Look out! Our storage units are busting at the seams and the Meadowlark Hills Market is right around the corner! All year round, we have been accumulating gently used items that will be featured at the rummage sale. We have treasures of all types, from practical furniture to electronics to one-of-a-kind knick knacks! Boy, are we excited to get started! The Meadowlark Hills Market will be underway Friday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 17!

Donations to the Market will be accepted the week of the sale from both Meadowlark Hills residents and employees. Items accepted include furniture, vintage clothing (anything dated before 1980), children’s clothing, small appliances, home décor, crafts, holiday décor, and more. If you would like to donate to the Meadowlark Hills Market, please refer to the schedule (on page 2) for dates and times that items will be accepted.

There are scheduled times in which small items can be dropped off in apartment 220, while large items will be accepted in the Community Room beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14. If you have a large item you wish to donate that needs to be picked up, please contact Amanda Rall to arrange a time by calling, 323-3801.

Volunteers are needed to help sort, organize, price, and act as greeters for the sale. To volunteer, please sign up in the Blue Book by Wednesday, Aug. 7.  Volunteer times are listed under each job category. Please feel free to sign up for as many duties as you would like! You may also donate items to the bake sale such as homemade brownies, cookies, pies and cakes. These items can be dropped off Friday, Aug. 16 before noon to Pam Reding in the Community Relations office right next to the KSU Classroom. Please make sure that your baked goods are pre-packaged and can be easily transported in a vehicle.

Only volunteers will be allowed in the Community Room and Living Room until the doors open at 3 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16 for the sale. We are also asking all individuals to donate their plastic bags and boxes by dropping them off during one of the donation drop-off times in apartment 220.

The Meadowlark Hills Market will be open to all residents, employees and Passport Members exclusively, on Friday, Aug. 16, from 3 to 6 p.m. The doors will close at 6 p.m. until the next morning when the Market will be open to the general public from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 17.

The Meadowlark Hills Market committee is most excited that proceeds will be used to bring life enhancement to the households and around campus. The money will be used by life enhancement leaders and staff the best way fit for their areas. It will be fun to see the money made from this sale will go right back into making Meadowlark Hills an even better place to live!
